Old rope and boats

Posted on 03 April 2008

Old rope on the quayside in Bantry Harbour, Co. Cork. I love the different textures in this image, and I knew I’d be happy with it in b/w!

This one is a marvelous shot. Such a delightful composition. Congratulations! If that is not a secret , what kind of B&W post-processing (if any) should I do in my photographs to get such an impressive contrast effect?

Thank you! I converted it to b/w in Bibblepro, but afterwards used the dodge and burn tools in the GIMP to increase the contrast.

This type of photo is a favourite of mine!

Tim – yes I do. it’s not always worth it and backing up stuff is a pain but it’s better to have that extra 1 stop of exposure either way than not I feel.

If I’m in a situation where I know I’ll be shooting *lots* I’ll revert to jpeg though. I did that on St. Patrick’s Day. Otherwise I’d run out of space while shooting!

Hi Donnacha, great job done on this one! Do you take all your shots in RAW format?

Hi Donncha, thanks for sharing the secrets ! I hear a lot about GIMP, so now I think it’s time for me to have a look at it!
